You'll get my "yes" if it ever gets that far. It is very tedious collecting the archive information from the various newsgroups where it gets posted. But thanks anyway guys, its better than nothing! I'd suggest two groups: comp.sources.archives and comp.sources.archives.d, the first for posting information on how to access various archives, the second for discussion of problems accessing archives (path xyzzy!abcd!foobar didn't work! Help!), problems with archiving sites (I got bletch.Z from site glorch and it wouldn't decompress!), archiving systems themselves (try Bugaboo SW's archive server, wow!), and of anything else relating to archives and archiving. Alternatively, I'd suggest that there be an established way of identifying which postings contained archive information (like a specially formatted subject line) so that we can find the information we want easily. --- Bill novavax!proxftl!bill
